The bit about balotelli just missing out hurdles in training shows the difference between him and a top player.
Top players can has the personality of a total cunt bag, but put the work in on the training pitch and perform for the team and no one gives a shit. If Mario puts it together in terms of his football professionalism he can set off as many fireworks in his house as he wants.
First thing Liverpool should have done is give him a proper number. The whole 45 thing puts him apart from the rest of the squad and sets the wrong image for him.
